SADDLE-HORN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 232,763, dated September 28 1880. Application filed July 20, 1880. (ModeL) To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, OREN RUBARTS and JOHN J osnrn DUBRUILLE, of Albany, in the county of Linn and State of Oregon, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Saddle-Horns of which the following is a specification.

Our invention consists, essentially, in a sad dle-horn made of malleable iron and provided with lugs extending downward on each side and toward the front and rear of the saddletree, whereby both the horn and the tree are braced and strengthened and provision is made for the ready attachment of the horn and its removal and replacement when necessary.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis aperspective view, showing our invention applied to a saddle-tree. Fig.2 is a vertical section of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A represents a saddle-tree of any suitable description. B is the saddle-horn, made of metal, preferably malleable iron. At the foot or base of the horn are two elongated lugs or branches, D, one on each side, which extend downward and are secured to the saddle-tree Being malleable and flexiby screws or bolts.

'rear edge of the tree.

ble, they can be readily fitted to the saddletree and made to conform to the shape thereof. Extending from the horn, at right angles to the branches D, are two other elongated lugs or strips, E G. The lng E extends forward and is screwed or bolted to the top of the bridge of the tree, and the lug G extends rearward and is bent downward and under the These lugs or branches are all made in one piece with the horn.

At the foot of the horn is a flange or shoulder, J, under which the covering of the saddle fits nicely, so as to expose only the horn.

This improved horn is more particularly in tended for what is known as a Mexican saddle; but it may be readily applied to saddles of various descriptions.

Having thus described our invention, what We claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A metallic saddle-horn provided with elongated lugs or branches D D and E G, substantially as herein described.
